3 Luxury Lodging, which includes The Ritz-Carlton and<br />
Bulgari Hotels & Resorts brands worldwide;<br />
3 Timeshare, which includes the development, marketing,<br />
operation and sale of timeshare, fractional and whole<br />
ownership properties under the Marriott Vacation Club,<br />
The Ritz-Carlton Club, Grand Residences by Marriott and<br />
Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club brands worldwide; and<br />
3 Synthetic Fuel, which includes our interest in the operation<br />
of coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities.<br />
In addition to the segments above, in 2002 we announced<br />
our intent to sell, and subsequently did sell, our Senior Living<br />
Services business segment and exited our Distribution Services<br />
business segment.<br />
In <strong>2006</strong>, the company analyzed its internal reporting process<br />
and implemented changes in the fourth quarter that were<br />
designed to improve efficiency. As part of this process, we evaluated<br />
the impact on segment reporting and made certain<br />
changes that were in accordance with U.S. generally accepted<br />
accounting principles. These reporting changes are in conformity<br />
with the requirements of FAS No. 131,“Disclosures about<br />
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” and will<br />
better enable investors to view the Company the way management<br />
views it. Accordingly, we now report six operating segments<br />
as compared to five before the change and indirect<br />
administrative expenses are no longer allocated to our segments.<br />
Senior management now allocates resources and<br />
assesses performance based on the six operating segments. The<br />
revised segment reporting is reflected throughout this report for<br />
all periods presented. Historical figures are presented in a manner<br />
that is consistent with the revised segment reporting.<br />
We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily<br />
on the results of the segment without allocating corporate<br />
expenses, interest expense or indirect general, administrative<br />
and other expenses. With the exception of the Synthetic Fuel<br />
segment, we do not allocate income taxes or interest income to<br />
our segments. As note sales are an integral part of the Timeshare<br />
segment, we include note sale gains in our Timeshare segment<br />
results, and we allocate other gains and losses as well as equity<br />
earnings or losses from our joint ventures and divisional general,<br />
administrative and other expenses to each of our segments.<br />
“Other unallocated corporate” represents that portion of our revenues,<br />
general, administrative and other expenses, equity in<br />
earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that are not allocable<br />
to our segments.<br />
We have aggregated the brands presented within our<br />
North American Full-Service, North American Limited-Service,<br />
International and Luxury segments considering their similar economic<br />
characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels,<br />
the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations<br />
within each segment and our organizational structure and<br />
management reporting structure.<br />
